Gathering sufficient instance data to either train algorithm-selection models or understand algorithm footprints within an instance space can be challenging. We propose an approach to generating synthetic instances that are tailored to perform well w...

Learning Descriptors for Novelty-Search Based Instance Generation via Meta-evolution (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marrero, A., Segredo, E., León, C., & Hart, E. (2024, July). Learning Descriptors for Novelty-Search Based Instance Generation via Meta-evolution. Presented at ACM GECCO 2024, Melbourne, Australia

The ability to generate example instances from a domain is important in order to benchmark algorithms and to generate data that covers an instance-space in order to train machine-learning models for algorithm selection. Quality-Diversity (QD) algorit... Read More about Learning Descriptors for Novelty-Search Based Instance Generation via Meta-evolution.
